The clip has been praised by many Gypsies and Travellers on Facebook, and has already been shared widely. One Irish Traveller woman the Travellers’ Times spoke to, said the video was a “bold move” and added that “it was about time political parties started trying to appeal to Gypsies and Travellers as voters rather than using us in a negative way to get votes from the settled people”.

The video comes shortly after the manifesto commitment by the Labour Party to “end discrimination against Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, and protect the right to lead a nomadic way of life”.

The Traveller Movement-led campaign Operation Traveller Vote encourages Gypsies and Travellers to register to vote and engage in the political process. Although the voter registration deadline has passed you can find more information on how to vote on their website.
